Out of all the Star Wars cash-ins to come out of Italy, this has to be the most blatant as well as the most fun! Ivan Rassimov plays the Darth Vader type character (Even looks like him!) who is power hungry to the point of madness. Richard Kiel is to be his secret weapon, but not if Corinne Clery and her ragtag collection of heroes can thwart his plans! A pilot, a little boy with psychic ability, a robot dog, and others all must defend Metropolis (the new name for Earth) and bring down Graal and his evil cohorts (Bach and Kennedy) before the human race is enslaved! The cast is great and there are a lot of familiar names behind the camera as well. The second unit director is Enzo Castellari, the special effects supervisor is Antonio Margheriti, the makeup artist is Giannetto De Rossi, and the soundtrack is by Ennio Morricone! This and Starcrash would make a fantastic double feature! Make sure and see it uncut!
